Hi
Im developing an App in ASP using SQLServer, its envisaged that there
will between 500 - 1000 users.
The app is an LMS and contains users of many different types and
permissions eg administrators to create accounts trainers to manage
trainees, trainees who take courses etc.
Version 1 of the app simply held all user details in a Users table,
however this time round we're considering holding the logon username and
password as a DB user, and holding all other account details in the
Users table. The reasons being so we can log in detail all actions of
individual in details and without running asp code through the app, and
also to immediately apply table permissions on each user type- thus
adding security into the system etc etc.
So my question is, is this the norm, are there other advantages/
disadvantages to this method, I'd like to have all the info possible
before taking this path.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
